Hi Atticus, Wow! Recently I got to explore somewhere in a far off land. I went to Moldova and discovered the realties of a world in transition, stuck somewhere between the old USSR and a new Europe. It was a place ripe with change. In the cracking old buildings you could almost feel a new way of life bursting. I walked the alley of the philosophers in the central park, I saw the new monumental government buildings contrast with the historic buildings, and I even found time to eat some cottage cheese pies.
